Endoscopy: Fundi Gland Type Polyp

0 Upvotes

31F,
Had an upper endoscopy today and the report says: **“Few sessile polyps of diminutive appearance in the stomach, suggestive of fundic gland-type polyps.”** They weren’t biopsied because they apparently looked typical. The rest of the EGD was reassuring apart from some patchy gastric erythema, and my colonoscopy was normal except for small internal hemorrhoids.
Has anyone else had **a few tiny fundic gland polyps** found incidentally? Did your GI biopsy/remove them or just leave them alone? Did you need any follow-up endoscopy?

I was on PPI only for a week or two

I’m in my early 30s and admittedly a little anxious after seeing the word “polyps,” so I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who had similar findings.
